Description

Shanti Bella is a true black, tall and flashy girl. She sure takes after her dad, Saviero, with the calm presence of her wise mother, Almond Joy, beloved Matriarch of the herd. At 23, Almond Joy in her twilight years is still strong and a loving leader. If we were to rehome our younger girls, being in our own twilight years, I could only let Shanti go together with her friend Assisi. Maybe it's because Assisi looks like Almond Joy, or because she admires her leadership, but they have always been close, giving Almond Joy a last baby to raise along with Sara. Shanti is fine with it, and the two girls are a good match. Shanti was born true jet black, but she is graying out in a nice silver gray. Being from Wilkins' gray breeding program, it is no surprise. Shanti's show ribbons are from her younger days in the true black competition.

"Shanti Bella" means peace is beautiful. Her full brother Captain Alexander is a lookalike from Almond Joy and Saviero, and half sister Sugar Plum is from Akeela and Saviero. Beautiful, and all with show ribbons for their fleece.

Shanti's sire:

"Saviero is a flashy, locky high luster 4th generation jet black male out of the Wilkins breeding dynasty. What a beautiful herdsire; I love every quality including his personality and his graceful gait. He is mellow and gets along with every herdmate, yet is a proud, perfect gentleman herdsire with a classy breeding style. I take him in on halter and the girls swoon. His ladies have always taken on one breeding of 10-12 minutes. I have withdrawn him at that point and never had to rebreed.

I'd love to have a pasture full just like him. See his first newborn daughter Shanti Bella in the top left photo. To the right is Shanti Bella growing up, her full brother Captain and newest Savvi daughter, Sugar Plum."
